Preview:

“Hi Nancy, cool ears! Are you playing with us?” Will asks, looking excited.

“Thanks! Yes, I’m going to be an elf princess. Mike’s in the basement setting up, Lucas and Dustin are there too.”

“Awesome! Jonathan is playing too,” Will explains and drags his older brother with him over the threshold.

“Fun!” She exclaims, looking at Jonathan who blushes.

Will hurries down to the basement as soon as he’s got his jacket off, leaving her and Jonathan alone in the hall.

“So they roped you into this too?” She smirks.

“Y-yeah,” he answers with a little crooked smile.

For day 6 of Jancy Week 2025, I used the prompt team and made an AU moodboard of Nancy and Jonathan as Sherlock Holmes and John Watson. The pictures are not mine. I found them on Google. All credit goes to the rightful owners. 

Nancy Wheeler was born in 1989. She has a genius-level IQ. When she was growing up, she loved reading books about mysteries. After graduating high school in 2006, Nancy and her boyfriend, Jonathan Byers, moved from the United States to London, England. Nancy became a private detective, and Jonathan went to medical school and became a forensic pathologist for the Metropolitan Police Service. Nancy is often hired to assist the Metropolitan Police Service with their cases. Although Jonathan’s co-workers are suspicious of Nancy at first, over time, her exceptional intellect and powers of observation persuade them of her value.

The time has come for my final holiday fic drop. So here it is, ironically when the Jancy community may need it most….

This is “It’s The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year.”

A Jonathan Byers x Nancy Wheeler fanfiction

Synopsis: After the events of season four, Hawkins was forced into a military quarantine. But when the prying eyes and concerned glances of family members start to raise suspicion outside of the small town, the military decides to make an exception. For only the week of Christmas, a select group of individuals will be allowed into Hawkins to visit loved ones. This group happens to include some of Jonathan’s California friends. Nancy isn’t quite prepared when she realizes some of these friends are very beautiful, and very interested in her boyfriend.

Or, the Christmas Jancy AU set in between the end of season 4 and beginning of season 5, where Jancy actually work out there issues regarding jealously, Emerson, and the future of their relationship.

It was good to be the guy who made things happen, who didn’t pass through life without touching or changing anything around him. That was the problem with his parents. They’d done everything that had been expected of them and gotten the big prize: marriage, a good income, a nice house, kids. And neither of them seemed happy. Nate wasn’t sure when his mother had started existing in a cloud of irritation, or when his father’s calm demeanor had turned apathetic. Maybe they’d always been that way, and he’d been too young to see it.

But Nate was going to make plans. He was going to push himself to the limit, making his body stronger and more efficient on the track, and his mind sharper and tougher everywhere else. He was going to run, although he wasn’t sure where yet.
